Construction - Reflections 2

With the footage we had filmed previously, we began our first task of editing. With some experience from the preliminary filming, we all had some knowledge on the editing software. As our filming had not gone 100% to plan (see Reflections 1), we were forced to work with what we had for the time being, and so crafted the full opening sequence, seeing everything that we needed to film. Despite having to film again, we realised the potential our film had if we filmed "good".

Positives of the day - Learning to edit a bit more

Negatives of the day - realising the extent of filming and having to film everything again

On the editing software called Adobe Premier Pro we wanted to add titles to our film. Titles are important when making a film it allows the audience to follow what is happening in the film, it is a guide for the audience. I included titles such as the films name, our names and a title at the end which is a cliff hanger for the audience.

To import a title onto the film I clicked on edit and then title and the screenshot to my left appeared onto the screen. I had to chose a text that I felt suited our film and then I changed the colour of the text to white because I wanted the background to be black as I felt black stood out more allowing the text to be bold. After I had finished designing the text I closed down the title editing software which took me to where I was editing the film. I then exported the titles from a bar that appeared.
